For the record, I have a manual. I love my manual. The automatic shifts better than I do, though, and that's fine with me.

LOL I think I can safely say the "PDK" gearbox in a GT3 is much more sophisticated than an FR-S AT. It doesn't have a torque converter - it isn't a slush box. If you're a "I drive an automatic." kind of guy because you're driving a GT3 then you're excused. It's completely different "technology".
The FR-S MT is closer to a GT3 AT than the FR-S AT is.
I bought an FR-S AT initially and had to trade it in. I hated it. Sure it shifts smooth but, fuck, so does my sister's Corolla.
